The Medical Oncology Unit is a comprehensive and advanced facility, which provides a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services for oncological diseases.
Patients receive treatments such as chemotherapy, targeted molecular therapies, and immunotherapy. The unit also benefits from the support of Psycho-Oncology and Clinical Nutrition services, which are crucial for patient care throughout all stages of their illness. The Medical Oncology Unit comprises two specialized sections: the Rare Tumors Unit and the Thoracic-Pulmonary Oncology Unit.
Notably, the Gemelli Polyclinic is the largest Cancer Center in Italy by the number of patients treated. It ranks 34th among the world's best oncology hospitals according to Newsweek's 2024 ranking and is the third-best hospital in Italy for oncology diseases. In 2023, the Center cared for 57,751 cancer patients and provided over 700,000 outpatient services, with a significant focus on gynaecological, digestive system, breast, and lung cancers.
